After 45 minutes of fighting, our army wiped out all the enemies here, and collected and destroyed many enemy equipment and military equipment. In addition, during the General Offensive and Tet Offensive in 1968, Tra Gui was also one of the places where the frontline headquarters was located to organize attacks on the enemy in the inner city of Hoi An.
